According to the film’s distributor, Magnolia Pictures: “It’s the most comprehensive accounting to date of how a clandestine mission hatched by two allies with clashing agendas opened forever the Pandora’s Box of cyber-warfare.”

Gibney wrote and directed Zero Days. He previously won an Oscar for 2008’s Taxi to the Dark Side and was nominated for 2006’s Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room.
